Name of Tour: Nature Inspired Design Segway Tour
Date Of Tour: July 28, 2009
Check-in Location: At the Guest Relations inside Epcot (early tours might need to enter with the character dining people; look for a sign that says "Character Dining" at a turnstyle).
Tour Highlight(s): The tour starts out with a video about how Soarin' was made and about Disney's Worldwide Conservation and how WDW tries to be environmentally responsible. Then they teach you how to ride the Segways. They are the all-terrain ones with bigger tires and a little easier to ride. After some practicing, we rode "off stage" out behind The Land and entered a door that put us right into Soarin'. We got to ride front row, center...no wait! Next, we got back on the Segways and rode off stage to the Agriculture Research Area. We were taken on a personal tour of the greenhouses. Back on the Segways and on to the Living Seas. Here we had a personal tour of the aquarium and some backstage areas. We went into the water filtration command center...very interesting. From there we rode up and down some hills and all around backstage. Finally, we went on stage near Imagination and back to Innoventions. We learned a lot from this tour, plus getting to play on the Segways.
Would you recommend this tour to others (if so why or why not): YES!!
